Vancouver's utterly fascinating WHITE LUNG are headed south for only the second time in their decade - long existence. They've wedged Sydney and Melbourne club dates between their commitment to being one of the proud flag-waving punk acts on the stellar 2017 Laneway Festival bill.

Sonically frenetic, White Lung deftly defy genre definitions. Sitting proudly on one side of the punk spectrum, the band unselfconsciously lurch into the realms of melodic rock and pop on third LP 'Paradise'. Released this year via seminal cult label Domino Recordings (Real Estate, Wild Beasts, Arctic Monkeys), 'Paradise' is uncompromising, exciting and shamelessly in your face. Mining her experiences as a journalist and advice columnist, vocalist Mish Barber-Way's delivery is uniquely urgent and haunting.Boththeriffsandsocialcommentary on'Paradise'areequallyrazor-sharp,andseriously unforgettable.

No strangers to critical acclaim, 'Paradise' has landed the diligent White Lung praise from Pitchfork, slots on landmarkeventsl ikeRiotFest and recently a nomination for Canada's prestigious Polaris Prize.

White Lung's undeniable brand of cool springs from the satisfaction of indulging your own creative desires completely. Do not forgo this opportunity to catch them destroying a club show. It will be immersive, exciting and slightly confrontational. Tickets on sale Wednesday October 26 via Handsome
